The guidance establishes that covered financial institutions must obtain foreign bank recertifications on or before the three-year anniversary of the execution date of the initial or previous certification. This policy applies to global recertifications and requires that if a certification is corrected or amended, the three-year recertification period restarts from the execution date of the revised document. Institutions may satisfy safe harbor requirements by obtaining certifications via electronic transmission or other data communication systems.
